Antique Model 1882 Cavalry Officers Sabre. France

The hilt features a curved brass guard with three quillons and a solid-wood grip divided into ridges. The pommel features a hand-engraved floral border along the edge of the metala subtle detail that lends the design a very special charm.
This beautiful Model 1882 cavalry officers sabre is an original period piece in good condition. A collectors item worthy of taking centre stage in any setting.
